Assembly & Operation Manual
Apply a large drop of Super O Lube BVM #5779 to the brake
drum surface of the wheel. Wipe this in until an even coat is
distributed; apply an equal amount to both main wheels. At this
time apply axle grease BVM #5784 to the wheel bushings and
reinstall the wheels onto the struts as described earlier. Now the
main wheels and brakes are complete.
Assemble each linkage by threading one nut onto
each threaded rod. Next apply one drop of thread
locker to the threads of the clevis, install the 4-40
clevis, and tighten the jam nut against the clevis.
Repeat this for all (6) threaded rod linkages and
set aside to dry.
Trim the bare ends of the threaded rods to the
proper length to allow full engagement of the
clevis, while maintaining the respective pin-to-pin
length.
